First week of classes done!!!!!!
Here is my semester!
I am actually very excited about these classes, and so far I like all my professors for them as well. So I have...

Bio 207: Zoology

Bio 430: Human Ecology-Infectious and Zoological Diseases (this may end up being my favorite for the semester, it is going to be so interesting!)

Psych 201: Intro to Psychology

Econ 201H: Intro to Macroeconomics (honors)

and I'm taking a leadership class with the honors program which is JU201H: Leadership Development

I know this semester will be a lot of hard work, and a different kind of work from last year, much more reading than anything, but I'm excited about everything!! Now let's see if I'm saying the same thing in a few weeks :)

Day 208

Day 207

After!!

Well, as you can tell through my pictures, landscaping our house has taken quite a bit of my time this summer, but hey, at least it gave me something to do...plus, I really like finishing projects, and the landscaping I did allowed me to see a before AND an after!
The after is the really important part, I really H.A.T.E. leaving projects undone, even if it's just for a few days. If I start something, I wanna get it done. So I must say I do feel accomplished for having completely weeded and mulched 3 big sections of our yard (both side yards and part of the garden in the back).
Unfortunately I wasn't able to mulch everywhere that's needs it, or paint the front porch which was on my list for the summer. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't paint it, we aren't through hurricane season yet :) and you never know what that could mean! But I'll focus on what did get done, and it was alot! So yippee for that.
Now it's time to get back to Jacksonville and start school!!!
